You need “Bar and Chain Oil”, available at hardware stores and home centers. It is SAE 30 with additives to make it adhere to your bar and chain. An excerpt from a Remington manual follows (edited). FILLING OIL TANK 1. Remove oil cap. 2. Fill oil tank with SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F. • Colder use SAE 10 oil. • Warmer use SAE 40 oil. 3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for a good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank. 4. Wipe off excess oil. • It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. • Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.

The manual is very clear about NOT using bar and chain oil. Its too thick and from many reviews this has created problems. Plain old 30w is to be usedThe manual is very clear about NOT using bar and chain oil. Its too thick and from many reviews this has created problems. Plain old 30w is to be used

Amazingly I read the owner's manual online and there is no mention of what type oil to use. However, this is a chain saw, albeit and electric chain saw. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that you would use bar oil which you can purchase anyplace that sells chain saws. Just ask for chainsaw bar oil. If you want to clarify this call 1-800-858-8501.

From page 9 of a M12510US (bar oil is SAE 30 with additives to help it adhere to the bar and chain): FILLING OIL TANK
1. Remove oil cap.
2. Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Note: For temperatures below 30°F, use SAE #10 oil. For temperatures above 75°F, use SAE #40 oil. 3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.

The
Remington manual for model 111409-01 states: "This Pole Saw requires
lubrication only to prevent rust on the guide bar and saw chain. The
saw chain provided is pre-lubricated at the factory. With each use of
the Pole Saw apply a small amount of lubricating oil directly to the
saw chain (see Figure 8). The oil will distribute itself around the
chain and guide bar groove during use?preventing rust. We recommend
using SAE #30 motor oil for lubrication and rust prevention."

According to the manufacturer... "Use SAE 30 motor oil for best results. (For temperatures below 30° F, use SAE 10. For temperatures above 75° F, use SAE 40.) DO NOT use Bar & Chain oil." So, I suggest for any Remington electric chains saw not to use bar and chain oil. I hope this helps...
